Chem-Trend Announces New Curing Envelope Treatment for Tire Retreading Industry
New treatment requires only one application for life of curing envelope
Howell, Mich., September 22, 2009 - Chem-Trend, a global manufacturer of release agents and other process chemical specialties, announced today that it has launched
Mono-Lube® 2006 for the tire retreading industry. Mono-Lube® 2006 is an advanced tire curing envelope treatment that can significantly increase curing envelope life, while providing easy release from the cured tire.
Typical life for a tire retread curing envelope is 40 – 60 tires; with Mono-Lube® 2006, that life can be extended by 33 to 100 percent, reducing the number of required envelopes and raw material needed while improving operational efficiency. In addition to providing good release from a cured tire, it also provides good slip, enabling accurate positioning over the next, uncured tire.
Unlike conventional envelope treatments, which require multiple applications, Mono-Lube® 2006 is engineered so that it requires only one application for the life of an envelope, consistently maintaining its performance integrity – especially important when adhesives might otherwise stick to the envelope and cause tearing when removed by the operator.
Mono-Lube® 2006 joins Chem-Trend’s full line of products for the tire industry that also include outside tire paints, inside tire paints, tire curing bladder treatments and Mono-Coat® brand tire mold treatments.
